Thanks, I was looking under Program Settings.
You're welcome.
I have tried controlling the Spam, but to no avail since they use my own domain name to send it.
No matter how I block a spoofed address Thunderbird doesn't seem to filter most of it.
I have one manual filter that gets round that which I call MeMe (imaginative eh), so if I receive an email to my email address and it is from that same email address then it gets flagged for deletion as I'm not in the habit of sending email to myself.
I may look into the program you mention and only need it for one account anyway.
It certainly saves me a lot of time, especially on dial-up, the only thing I do is exclude that applications email traffic from being scanned by the Internet Mail provider as it doesn't download the whole email (no attachments) only a small part (user configurable) and it is viewed in text mode, so presents a very, very limited risk (which might have avast alert). So if you decide to proceed and get alerts on the mailwasher traffic and you want to exclude it let me know.
How about getting an email notification when someone responds to a topic I am subscribed to in
this forum and how do I subscribe?
Ok, found the Notify button at the top, is there a place I can automatically be subscribed to any topics I post to?
By default you should get email notifications on topics you create or contribute, so you should be getting email notifications unless you specifically disabled that option when you first registered.
So you shouldn't need to click the notify button.
In the forum displays there is also a neat link, 'Show new replies to your posts' (see image) that is what I use makes life even easier and you don't have to have the Notify setting in the profile set to email you. Note the location will be in a different location as I have a different theme (Babylon) to the default forum one.
